Weyl superconductor phases in a Weyl-semimetal/superconductor multilayer

Weyl semimetal in a topological insulator multilayer.

We propose a simple realization of the three-dimensional (3D) Weyl semimetal phase, utilizing a multilayer structure, composed of identical thin films of a magnetically doped 3D topological insulator, separated by ordinary-insulator spacer layers. We show that the phase diagram of this system contains a Weyl semimetal phase of the simplest possible kind, with only two Dirac nodes of opposite ch...

A Necessary Condition for Weyl-Heisenberg Frames

Generalized Douglas-Weyl Finsler Metrics

In this paper, we study generalized Douglas-Weyl Finsler metrics. We find some conditions under which the class of generalized Douglas-Weyl (&alpha, &beta)-metric with vanishing S-curvature reduce to the class of Berwald metrics.

Quantum phases of disordered three-dimensional Majorana-Weyl fermions

The gapless Bogoliubov-de Gennes (BdG) quasiparticles of a clean three dimensional spinless px + ipy superconductor provide an intriguing example of a thermal Hall semimetal (ThSM) phase of Majorana-Weyl fermions; such a phase can support a large anomalous thermal Hall conductivity and protected surface Majorana-Fermi arcs at zero energy. We study the effects of quenched disorder on such a gapl...

Fully Commutative Elements in the Weyl and Affine Weyl Groups

Let W be a Weyl or affine Weyl group and let Wc be the set of fully commutative elements in W . We associate each w ∈ Wc to a digraph G(w). By using G(w), we give a graph-theoretic description for Lusztig’s a-function on Wc and describe explicitly all the distinguished involutions of W . The results verify two conjectures in our case: one was proposed by myself in [15, Conjecture 8.10] and the ...
